Is 1 mg/mL a sensible working concentration for liraglutide, or should I go lower?

The case in front of me: 1 mg/mL · liraglutide.

I would like the axes of comparison first and the recommendation second.

I have tried the first option and it works; the question is whether the second is better rather than merely different.

Is there a defensible reason to prefer one, or is this a coin flip?
